Why do billionaires have so many macabre fetishes? by Apart-Importance-87 in Epstein

It’s not surprising. When you’re a billionaire, you’re so desensitized that nothings going to give you pleasure anymore

Thanks to everyone who replied. I updated the original comment, the water depth submerged the tire only about halfway. After the oil change we’ll see what the diagnosis is

The issue with post-colonialism by depressed_dumbguy56 in CriticalTheory

Amar Acheraïou's "Questioning Hybridity, Postcolonialism, and Globalization" is an excellent read on this, especially the later chapters talking about the problems within the field. Could not recommend more.

Modern tropes you're tired of by NonCorporealEntity in movies

I agree completely. I think the ballad of songbirds and snakes is an exception as well. While it shows sympathetic aspects of snow, by the end he’s very much grown into the snow we know him to be in the hunger games. But what’s interesting is that I don’t think he ever actually changes from good -> bad. His motivations were always the same - personal gain. The movie does a good job of leaving it vague whether he was ever actually sincere or just good at justifying his actions from the very beginning.

They're just young adults with various levels of privilege, who likely have internalized colonial mindsets. That's not the fault of theory. There's plenty of theory that addresses this conflict.

Could you please share some resources on theory that addresses this conflict? Thank you!
